Not easyI can see password protecting individual files, if they're accounting files or whatever, but adding a second password just to do so in the name of "security" is idiotic!

zip the folder and password it? this will create lots of other fun problems but it would solve your immediate one

Yes, but that means that when people are done, they have to rezip the folder and re-set the password on the zip. That won't work.

Implement a quick FTP server and have the folder location redirect to ftp:\folderlocation.location.com (internal address) This would cause a ton of other issues but they would be prompted for a username and password.

No Sir, redirection is not allowed. They need to upload the files manually -Manual connecting to FTP server.

Well, you could create them new but super secret user names and passwords and only give them access via those user accounts.
...aaaaaand for extra fun, games and work...
make them all RDP to a terminal server to do their work... because secrets.

that's what I would say to do. Password protecting a "file" or folder requires a third party utility. Zipping is as easy as anything else.

Someone is confused as to the ISO standard, in this case.
